- Impossible Climb Arette 2023: Drawing a record attendance of approximately 5,000 visitors on Sunday, August 20th, the renowned "Montée impossible Arette" event showcased exhilarating challenges for its participants. Despite their best efforts, no rider could conquer the summit of the hill.
Adding to the spectacle were numerous custom-built bikes, boasting over 100+ hp. These monster bikes, equipped with large tires and powerful engines, roared and strained against the incline, trying their utmost to complete the daunting hill climb.
The sun blazed overhead, bearing down on the participants of the 2023 edition of this Arette challenge, with thermometers recording temperatures surpassing 35°C, unusually high for the typically cooler mountainous region.
Recognized as one of the five events in the French Hill Climb Championship, the Arette race features a track that's 230 meters long and 8 meters wide. This track, riddled with obstacles, leads to the coveted local ham prize which awaits those daredevils who reach the hilltop of Mouline.
Given the slope's steep incline, ranging between 70 and 82%, it's instantly clear to any onlooker that this ascent is not for the faint-hearted.

From my bed on this rainy day off work, this looks super easy.
Facts same, easy to me
😂 sure dude
@@knucklestheechidna5718 Sarcasm
I could do it if I had a helicopter
😊😊😊😊😂
Those wheel spikes are the real danger
I bet plenty get hurt from them. Seems likely.
@@josephkostinko739they've probably bilnded a couple of people at this point
I thought the real danger was the hill...
Worse are the motorbike ice racing. Sharp pointy spikes on both wheels.
@@haweater1555it's 3am I'm already down the yt rabbit hole but ice racing you say hmmm 🤔🤔🤔
I assume this is the hill my parents had to walk up when they went to school as kids
No, that’s the bigger one on the other side.
@@peterfireflylund ah this must be the one they had to walk up on the way home
@@southwestwifarm3516 That hill was always in a blizzard, at 5 am, AFTER their chores were done. ;)
In the snow
Lol
Unless you have hillclimbed on a dirt bike it’s hard to comprehend the skill and courage it takes to do this.
Ya think?
Except it's to totally useless to tune a bike for 1 single thing.
@@tehalexy knives are also used for stabbing people.

@@gregft1979 Using a farm/ag bike to herd goats on a hill, would suggest hill climbing is a usable skill,
i love how the two strategies are :
1: play a little bit with the throttle then send it
2: send it
Hahaha, right?!?
Where is this contest taking place?
It's like drag racing, only it's vertical instead of horizontal. But no burn outs.
9:35 Really liked that FPV perspective.
its pov
This was a brutal competition, wow!
4:45 this guy was lit, so close!
he also had those insane spiked tires and almost took it clean in the back. im assuming people died doing this wow
he choose smartest route
14:34 Le plus grand cabaret du monde: salto arrière, chapeau l'artiste !
Oui’ c’est impressionnant
We have hill climbing in the states too!! Its awesome to watch people try this crazy stuff!!!
It's insane, I love it. I wonder how they get the bikes back down or up?
When the hill is tough enough to prevent anyone from completing it, and there is a wide variation in the completion rates, I would say it is perfect.
a front wheel driven bike should work easy. but i did not know if that is allow
Where is this contest taking place?
@@user-lw9pybro you'll have like couple of kilos at best at the front wheel on a hill with steepness like that and when was the last time you saw a front wheel drive bike?
@@Bogdan_Vader in the past there are horses to move fast . or maybe use mechanical horses . when there are 300 snipers with such horses maybe can stop ruzzian
@@user-lw9py English please
Great job showing and great sport , I did it back in the 1970s all over the Tennessee hills. Yes I love it still got my old 1974 trail bike, yes great job showing the video. Have a good one and see ya next time see ya bye.
Seems to only get more difficult to climb the hill as the race progresses because the dirtbikes keep digging into the hill.
Yea it looked like the riders were trying to find fresh spots to climb up
Yeah. They do that
14:15 - That's run of the show, what a spectacle. Hope it didn't bust his tailbone or anything; that swing arm came in hard.
3:30 THAT DEADLY SPIKE !!
My 6yo got a fever, I gave him medicine and wait until he deeply sleeps. CZcams suggested this at 4 in the night. Don’t know why I’m even watching it, but so much fun 😊
You know what would be a good idea is if they attach a thin paracord rope to the bike and have a pulley system at the top of the hill that pulls on it as it comes up. Not enough pull to add any assistance but just enough to hold the bike up before it tumbles back down on the rider. Similar to how a rock climber can go up the face of a mountain without assistance but if they fall, the rope catches them.
Bike on head Part of Show. Good stuff
Are you nuts
@@jamesadams893 Bike on head
LOVE THOSE DIRT ROOSTER TAILS!!! AWESOME VIDEO
We Finns might be known for our crazy amateur rally events but mainland Europe also seems to have some crazy events.
Craziness knows no borders :)
Truc de français.. moi même français je ne cautionne pas cette folie mais chacun et libre de ses actes s’ils se blessent ce sera leur problème lol.

Le backflip était fou ! 14:17 + la "roue avant" ce mec est un artiste 🤌

I remember being with my father and his friend way back in the woods on trials we used to ride. There was one very steep hill that wasn't part of the trail really, but it was just a challenge. I was on a Yamaha TTR-125 and I was just a kid, but they were both on quads. Robbie I think had a Blaster and my father was riding a Polaris of some kind. They both tried to climb that hill. Robbie fell off and the bike came back down and my father ended up getting stuck up against a tree.
The hill wasn't nearly as long as this one, but it was every bit as steep.
Need a smaller front wheel, an engine with great torque at lower RPM and smoother throttle response, stand on the pegs, lean forward, keep speed just enough to carry through, and make sure your hospital insurance is paid up.
😂 Alright, armchair expert....
@mickeybee Woke up to act like a prick today.
One has a feeling that an electric motor cycle with suitable battery placement could be a winner. You get the insane torque of the electric motor at all RPM's and the weight of the batteries could be used to keep the front wheel in contact with the ground.
@@jonathanbuzzard1376 They are torquey. They produce maximum torque at stall rpm and it degrades in linear fashion from there all the way to max rpm. Your idea is note worthy and no doubt some one will build it one of these days.
凄すぎて目が離せない！
Awesome video killer footage of the motorcycle 🏍️ climb!! Thanks for sharing great job thumbs up 👍
The best hill climb video ever; amazing skill on an unbelievably steep mountain; bravo!
It’s a very interactive sport. Nice to see the spectators get up close and personal with he flying motorbikes.
Do you mean the event staff wearing pretty much no protective gear? yes, that's nuts but I assume they have a certain level of 'safety training' at least, haha. But I think the spectators themselves are seen at some distance behind barricades, are they not? Now I'm sure some of those spectators would like to be right in the mix of the action, safety be damned just like they do in the Tour de France!
And along comes a kid on his grandfather's Honda 90, climbs up, down the other side, on a hunting trip.
This should be called HOLD MY BEER
Yep
That was cool, but now I want to see them race from the top to the bottom!
On foot!
Maybe they could chase… oh… I don’t know… a big ass wheel of cheese or something… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What, by jumping?😅
@@dudeman8323 Yessss!
That's sadistic

The girl they spent so much time showing us fixing her hair did really really well....lol

a 2:21 you get a sense of how sharp that hill is : the guy is almost standing in it !
that leg shouldn't bend like that @11:10 that was double ouchy!
용기와 컨트롤 한국에서 보기힘든 스포츠입니다 진짜 대단하신거 같아요
They need to lower the handlebars and make the front wheel smaller to get more weight in front.
And, what about "ape hangers" - only sticking forward so rider can lean forward over tire?
Make the front wheel smaller so it can't roll over the bumps for shit...@@wooferdevlin3571
Lol that #4 @17:27 was so stoked after bogging half way up the hill.. Downshift man!
No kidding I thought the same thing especially when half the other guys are talking out most the way up and damn close to sending the piston through the seat lol
The helmet cam at 9:37 was great.
Crazy Euro's!!! That was brutal
Dayum that’s super fun,forgot who got to the top,I just love that noise!!!
This looked great. I sometimes forget that everywhere across this great globe, there are “petrol heads” just like myself. I’m American of French & English ancestry. A lil Italian and Swedish in there too but not a lot. I’m a “mutt”.
This looks amazing fun, right up until it doesn’t.
Insane dirt bike.🎉
50 years ago I looked like these poor souls while trying to ride my older brother’s 250 Suzuki dirt bike on level ground! Didn’t dump it but the torque almost jerked me free from the handlebars! These people are fearless!
An RM250 2stroke? Those things were terrifying, rather like the Honda 250R 3-wheeler that got them banned. The power bands were too much for newbies.
@@tomservo5347 you got that right!
14:28 nice backflip !
Je souhaite un jour venir en tant que visiteur. un grand merci à vous.
If your into this sport look up the Winemaker hill climb at point of the Mountain in Utah. It used to be quite a show in the 1970's. You can still see the ruts on the hill. The U haven't done it in decades.
Back in Utah in the late 70's and early 80's they had a Hill Climb called Widow Maker. They had Harley's, Hondas, Suzuki, you name it. (1200cc) Those were street bikes converted into hill climbing.
They would be a good competition for this Hill Climb. They might just Kick their asses... Just saying. I love this Shit!!!
We use to have a picture on our garage wall of this guy on Widow maker. He had the dorkiest face😂.
LOL@@Webedunn
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. -Albert Einstein
THESE PEOPLE ARE FREEKIN CRAZY!!!
When it comes to spikes vs. common sense, always choose more spikes.
In the spirit of the Ententente Cordial I say we combine this with out great cheese rolling event. You ride to the top and then run down to gather the cheese.
I laugh my ass off on every ride. The mountain kicks your ass. Everyone thinks they have the secret...so funny. Love the bailouts.
It is so exciting to see people gathering together to celebrate and rejoice in a healthy way. What wars? Why a tight pain if we can be brothers
14:11 All these guys have balls of steel. Even the female rider. wow !
To any Hill Climbers,
Is it better to ATTACK the hill at the beginning while the hill is still fresh or latter as the day goes on?
After the soil has loosened up...
Yes
Use your brain!
Full back flip coordinated with bike.....EPIC.
A noble climb gentleman, your friend from old New Orleans 🦨
9:25, that was a close call, almost got that back tire on his back
4:45 # 22 is a screamer also. Sounds Good !!
Has to be one of my top 5 niche sports of all time, along with the Cheese Roll, so watchable
…..I was like “neat! I hope the lady is the only one to make it!”
Then she made it like 10% of the way, and fell.
😂😂😂
Want to be a CZcamsr I need help
3:45 was way too beautiful to be on that sketchy ass hill🤣🤣
Suggestion: Do one last rerun of the winning rider, or put his run last in the vid.👍
Imagine if they had 2 wheel drive motorcycles. Then they'd really be flying up the Hill.😊
When you need traction the most the front wheel is in the air.
@@danharold3087 Hmm, now I wonder why the front wheel is in the air so much. Gonna have to think on that one for a while.
Fkin nuts, as if motocross or enduro isn’t dangerous enough already 🤣 there literally isn’t any way of gracefully dismounting one of those beasts. That double double at 5:00 was very impressive
This reminds me of hillclimb racer game. The dirt bike was the best!
The ballsy part is knowing when you flip your bike and the back tire will turns into a flesh ripping chainsaw wanting to eat you... but you still get on and go for it.
Those tire spikes are terrifying once they become airborn! Exciting as hell.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5protective gear I definitely trust more than god, when it comes to not getting hurt….
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 um... what? can't we keep that crusty old book out of anything? jezus. the whole world doesn't share your religious beliefs, keep it to yourself.
@IlSinistero lol right? God's armor is famously ineffective.
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 Exactly what is the uppercase 'R' at the end for??????
Cool ………but it would be more interesting if a few of the top riders could make it.
It's not unlikely that nobody made it. Arette had only one rider to finish last year.
Something I can sit watching from Start to finish Insane jumps not what I'm use to or been on before Congrats all
Simply amazing 😻🤩
Some of those guys loose control because they can't control the insane power some of those bikes have 😂
the lack of wide shots really takes the spectacle out of this sport. If you aren't intimately familiar with the steepness of this hill you aren't going to appreciate the up close footage.
agreed....... :/
Incrível competição, parabéns a todos que participam, são muito corajosos 👏👏👏
I used to watch these competitions on ESPN, the ocho, back in the day…usually near midnight, iirc.
What is the life expectancy of a spectator?
68 😊
Depends how quick they are on their feet 😊
This is what it’s like discussing anything important with my chick.
Damn…best comment even on CZcams💪😂
You get those chicks... some chicks are less dirt road on you
YOU GO AURIANE!! You are inspiration. Cheers!!
**falls off**
I laughed so bad in this video that for me it is peak comedy even though it's serious! 😂😂😂
Wah ça doit faire 20 ans que je connais le hill climb je m'étais jamais rendu compte a quel point ce sport est dangereux! On dirait plus une vidéo best of de crash que la vidéo normale de l'event. Combien d'os cassés ? Et de motos ? 😬
Peut être aussi car ces derniers jours je suis déterminé à passer le permis moto, ma femme à peur, mon fils à 3 ans, et mon père est mort à moto en 2007, et bref j'ai comme un peu peur xD
I am with your wife on this one.
It's NOT about how safe or not YOU ride ...
It's usually other Car drivers ! ( and they are protected somewhat in a metal / plastic box )
You have in reality ZERO protection !!!
👍✊🙏
Hahaha the chick with the dramatic fall hahahaha go home and make me a samich !
Can we talk about the man on the left in the daisy dukes SPRINTING at anyone who looked in danger. He would make a great power ranger.
⚡ Nice
Great job by the female. She almost made it to the bottom of the hill.
That proves women can do anything men can do and most of the time do it better.
😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️😂
That is legit dangerous and fun to watch.
This is really fuqing great event👋
my favorite series
Настоящий экстрим! Великолепно!
Love from India
Im sure that these guys know what they are doing but I can't see the advantage of stretching the motorcycle. And keeping the engine closer to the front would help keep the front end down in theory first bump on the incline you hit and it is working against you.
It would be awesome to have one of these bikes designed with the self balancing technology like the Hoverboard or the Segway.
I falls are brutal but funny at the same time 😅
beau spectacle !!
The coolest part is watching the exhaust blow dust to the sides. Hell of an effect.
何年もかけてマシンも進化しているね。
後輪が離れているのがトレンドで、宙に浮いたときに「への字」型に曲がる車体が強いんだね。
来年はついに頂上にたどり着く選手が出てきそうだ。
That tire is a game changer
These guys are crazy. I'm so excited to watch them
Can’t stop watching
This looks extremely serious and funny at the same time
Now lets go from the top down ,, its a race ,,,,,
lots of weight upfront, and 2 wheel drive. godbless.
